Tops of the old lock walls become visible during low water periods on the river.

It is located in the Desnoyer Park neighborhood, north of the Lake Street-Marshall Bridge connecting Minneapolis and Saint Paul, Minnesota.

The Meeker Island Lock and Dam ruins were added to the National Register of Historic Places in 2003.

Each year, National Park Service historian Dr. John Anfinson and the Friends of the Mississippi River lead a tour of the lock and dam ruins.
